We’ve been longtime fans of scouring the Smithsonian Open Access domain. I recently came upon the “Artful Cats” section, which is a selection devoted to cat-related art. The people at the Smithsonian Public Domain are doing good work.

When I was a little kid, this book went almost everywhere with me. I would spend countless hours admiring each & every page of vibrantly painted cats, which is why most of the pages are barely intact anymore. Eventually, I lost the book along with my memory of it. Last year when perusing my old childhood books I found it & I guess my admiration for it never really left. If you like cats, art, optical illusions, or simply enjoy color then I think you might find this book fun to flip through!

My Instagram explore page, for the most part, consists of cute Korean cartoons and cats being cute and/or crazy. My three favorite internet cats lately have been Guangdang, Francis and George. Guangdang is a cat that has a resting sad face (I can relate) and kind of “eeps” rather than meows. Francis is a 14 year-old cat with dwarfism. George is a really chatty Orange cat that’s a rescue, and he lives with this really wholesome lady in a beautiful garden and cottage in Wales. As we all know, the internet can be such an apocalyptic hole of discouraging stupidity, so these cats really bring me so much joy amidst all of the pure shit. I feel like I could die for them sometimes. I love them with all of my heart.

I love gender neutral descriptors and have been calling people 'cats' a lot more recently.
e.g. 'Some Cats and I are going to the pub, do you want to come with?'
'You're one Cool Cat'

Maybe this began because we’ve been making show posters for years. Regardless, it’s great fun to establish the theme of your parties and disseminate useful information… no good party happens these days without a poster.

The visual world of our record (as well as the sound) was heavily inspired by quilt making and folk art in general. Every hooked rug I’ve seen possesses this distinct, strange quality… it must be difficult to render things accurately in the medium because animals always end up looking like vague, childlike representations of what they are. It’s really beautiful!

Some jam in the average grilled cheese goes a long way, or the BEC on the french toast bagel (try it)… elevates any meal and breaks the binary.
